I'd rather not go that route. I want to be able to go with my daughter during the afternoon and come back for the night time festivities with my husband. But worst comes to worst Izzy and I will find a way in for the magic show.

Re: Lightning in a Bottle 2012

i'm really quite sad to miss LiB this time around, even though I'll be traveling all over. This festival occupies this nice middleground between small outdoor events like Moontribe and almighty Burning Man, and of course it has its own little thing to it (beautiful venue, the temple, marketplace etc.) Though I'm not sure it can grow much more in Oak Canyon Ranch, I worked the shuttles all weekend and could see that the parking lots and campgrounds were pretty much packed in all directions. I'm just hoping that it will retain the little intimacies that make it so special. But I guess there's always *********

Salah, you would love either of these festivals. Are they doing ********* still? I thought they lost their spot up north and then it seemed they put a lot more energy into LIB. Maybe just a coincidence.

they did lose their spot, and it hasn't happened since. there's rumblings of a return in 2012 though.

and the two festivals are not associated. any apparent correlation there is coincidence.

Re: Lightning in a Bottle 2012

I know I'm about 2 months late, but Bassnectar's usual fanbase would definitely come out to a weekend festival for just him. I went to ReGeneration (STS9's festival) last year in which Bassnectar and STS9 were the headliners. Bassnectar was one of the only dubstep acts there (Big Gigantic is actually the only other act that plays any at all that comes to mind), but his fans were there in full force. There were plenty of people who clearly only came for him, there were endless campsites blasting dubstep 24 hours a day, and I met a group of guys who did not even know who STS9 were, or that the festival was put on by them.

Re: Lightning in a Bottle 2012

I am looking forward to my first time at LiB, after two years at Burning Man I assume it will be a cake walk (and those are easy to win!). If anyone is looking for a similar festival starting in Santa Barbara this year for 80$ for 3 days. April 13th-15th. http://lucidityfestival.com/

It's taking place at the old location of where Lightning was in Santa Barbara.

In regards to LiB,

1. How is it that the showers are communal yet still cost 6$?

2. How pricey is the food? (Is 50$ enough for the weekend or 75? 100?)
